Artist statement

My artistic journey.  

I have always loved to be creative but did not pursue painting passionately until in my late 40’s when I completed a course in drawing and painting at MADEC Mildura and learnt to paint with watercolours. I pursued this for a few years then stopped painting for around 15 years and have only taken in up again in the last two years. I changed to Acrylics for I love their boldness and versatility.

Inspiration.   I am mainly inspired by the colours and textures of Nature.

I just paint as I see things and try to include detail and am happy at times to leave feint little paint blobs, dribbles and brush strokes that can be visible in my work as I like the subdued textural effect.

My painting aim is to create something to let the mind relax and connect with the subject on the canvas evoking a sense of pleasure.
